Elk Cottage

Award-winning Elk Cottage dates back to the 1600s and adjoins Glassonby Hall in Glassonby. The impressive stone-built cottage welcomes pets and offers beams and stone walls, a log fire in a traditional fireplace, antique furnishing, and a sun-trap terrace garden.

The terraced sandstone-flagged garden is decorated with beautiful mature plants and offers a furnished space for taking morning tea and dining al fresco. Enjoy croquet on the lawn. Unoccupied since 1764, the cottage is now elegantly appointed with antique furnishings to complement the exposed beams, stone walls and other reminders of yesteryear. An oak floor leads to the open-plan space with a dining area and a sitting area with an open fire in a traditional fireplace. The well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast area will produce delicious meals.
